Understandably it’s starting to slow down, with an estimated $25m weekend in the States, but nevertheless The Force Awakens has bounded through the $1billion dollar international barrier and is setting it’s sights on Titanic in the all-time number 2 spot.
In its 5th offshore frame, Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens has become only the 5th film ever to cross $1B at the international box office. This is also the first time Disney has rounded that bend. The overseas take this weekend was $47.3M, lifting the cume to $1,012.6M. The global total is now $1,863.7M.
Notably this frame, Germany crossed the $100M mark with $100.1M to date. This is the 3rd global market to get to the milestone, behind the U.S. ($851M) and the UK ($168.6M).
